Faces and Phases of Mumbai

Mumbai’s madness is not for the faint-hearted—its vibrant chaos is simply a symphony to the senses.

There’s people’s frenetic pace inside local train platforms, the rhythmic sound of clothes being washed at the iconic Dhobi Ghat, or the distinct scent of spices sold at the Crawford Market. The crowded streets of India’s financial capital pulsate with indescribable energy.

If in the city, walk along the Colaba harbor to see the iconic Gateway of India and Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. You can also check other colonial structures at the University of Mumbai, Bombay High Court, or Victoria train terminal. Lastly, spend some time at Gandhi’s residence and learn about his roots before becoming a pilgrim of peace.
